Most Retailers Are Not AI-Ready!
Description
Everyone’s talking about AI, but few retail leaders are asking the deeper question:
Is your company truly AI-ready—or just overwhelmed with data?
In this episode, I sit down with, Abhijit Patharkar, the co-founder of Nexlytix to unpack the unspoken barriers to effective AI in retail: siloed systems, misaligned storytelling, broken decision-making, and the myth that more dashboards mean more clarity.
We cover:
- What AI readiness really looks like
- Why storytelling must change based on who's reading the data
- The danger of building AI on broken foundations
- How leaders can shift from chasing tech to shaping strategy
If you're leading in retail and trying to make sense of AI’s role in your future—you need this conversation.
Listen now and rethink how your business makes decisions.
